Grand Prairie police are looking for a man who they say ran away from officers Sunday after he was spotted loading a revolver behind a woman’s car.

Around 12:30 p.m., the woman called police after she looked out her home window and saw the man hiding behind her car while putting bullets in his gun. When officers showed up, the man took off running. Police chased the man, who ran into an apartment complex in the 3000 block of Commodore Drive. He dropped the gun along the way, Grand Prairie police spokesman Det. Lyle Gensler said.

A witness told officers that he saw the man run into a specific apartment. SWAT officers were called to the scene, and police obtained a search warrant to get into that apartment, Gensler said. But the man wasn’t there.

Gensler said police have the gun and some leads on the man, who could face weapons and evading arrest charges.

Update at 6:20 p.m., May 29: The girl, 14-year-old Kelsie, also died of blunt force trauma to the head, according to the Dallas County Medical Examiner’s office.

Reed was still in New Mexico as of Tuesday and doesn’t appear to be in Dallas County yet.

Original post at 5:13 p.m., May 21: Authorities say the extradition process has begun for the man who police suspect killed a Grand Prairie mother and her teenage daughter over the weekend.

Kirkland Reed, 45, was taken into custody Sunday at a hospital in Alamogordo, N.M., after police discovered Jennifer Krieger, 44, and her daughter Kelsie, 14, slain in their Grand Prairie home in the 1800 block of Sandra Lane. Reed, who has a criminal past, had been in a relationship with Krieger, police said.

The mother died of blunt force injuries to the head, according to the Dallas County Medical Examiner’s office. Kelsie’s cause of death has not yet been released. She attended Harry S. Truman Middle School, and police said crisis counselors were at the campus Tuesday.

Reed has been convicted in the past on theft and assault charges, among others, according to Dallas County records. New Mexico records show he was once arrested for battery against a household member, but the charges were dismissed.

Neighbors said Sunday that there weren’t any outward indications of trouble. Lanell Reed, Kirkland Reed’s aunt by marriage, said Tuesday that she “never would have believed in 100 years” that Kirkland Reed — she called him Kirk — could have committed the crime.

“I’m sad, I’m hurt, the whole family is in shock,” said Lanell Reed, who also lives in Grand Prairie. “We’re just praying for the family. Hopefully they’ll come through.”

Lanell Reed said she and her husband saw or heard from her nephew and Krieger all the time, and they were recently all together for Easter. Lanell Reed said Kirkland would often call her husband to talk about boxing, too.

Jennifer Krieger was a good mother and “a beautiful young lady,” Lanell Reed said. She said her nephew and Krieger had dated for seven or eight years.

Lanell Reed said she and her nephew are originally from Alamogordo, and moved to be closer to family members in Grand Prairie more than 20 years ago.

Grand Prairie police spokesman Lyle Gensler said detectives have seized evidence in New Mexico and will return Wednesday to Texas.

Grand Prairie police are asking for the public’s help finding a pickup driver who they say dragged a person who was clinging to his truck’s door.

Police spokesman Lyle Gensler said witnesses told police that the man was driving erratically Friday night and was traveling the wrong way in southbound lanes on Highway 360. The witnesses said the driver abruptly came to a stop, and appeared to fall asleep with the pickup still running.

Gensler said another person walked over to the pickup to take the driver’s keys out of the ignition. But the driver woke up and drove his pickup off the road while the other person held onto the car door.

A witness found the victim unconscious in a field and was taken to John Peter Smith Hospital in serious condition. Gensler said police believe the victim has since been released from the hospital.

The driver is wanted on aggravated assault charges, Gensler said. The pickup was described as a blue or gray Ford F150, which might have minor damage or scratches on the driver’s-side door.

Grand Prairie police officers shot an accused robber who authorities say held up an undercover officer and then pointed a gun at uniformed officers during a foot pursuit Friday afternoon.

The man’s name was not released, pending further investigation. Authorities say he suffered a graze wound to the head and his injuries were not thought to be life threatening.

Det. Lyle Gensler, a police spokesman, said authorities set up an undercover sting operation near the Williamsburg Apartments on South Carrier Parkway following three robberies that occurred over the last month. In each robbery, an armed suspect robbed a victim and then fled into the apartment complex.

“If he’s done it three times, we decided let’s see if he’ll do it again,” Gensler said. “We felt pretty strongly that he lived in that apartment complex.”

About 1:15 p.m. Friday, a man approached an undercover police officer and pointed a gun at him. The undercover officer threw money on the ground and raised his hands above his head.

“The bad guy picked up the money,” Gensler said. “The officer identified himself. He chose to take off running.”

Uniformed police officers chased after him and during the foot pursuit, “he decided to stop and turn around and point a firearm at officers.”

Gensler said one of the officers fired three times, striking the accused robber once.

He said police will now show lineups to victims in the other three prior three robberies to see if they pick the suspect out.
